Thank you for taking the time to help me. You don't know how much I
appricate the idesa you have given me. The Caho is one I never thought of.
Thank you again, if I find something I will let you know the fruits of your

Re: New York Cahills:
Ellen I don't have anything specific as to
West Village NYC listings for Cahills.
Here is what I would do. If I were looking
for John or Sara Cahill married 1848+,
l. I'd visit or phone the free archives
except minimal fee for copy work.
2. I'd asked for the book(s) on County
History. The Kansas City Branch
has two. The green one lists divisions
within the counties and wards and years.
My target would be - "West Village"
and once I would have the ward number,
the search is extremely narrowed.
Ward(s) _______ in West Village and
either yourself if you go in person or
a volunteer at the archives will assist
with pulling the
right film. They will do lookups when
needed. I live where I can commute to the
KC archives in MO when my car gets
fixed. You may be near the Dallas, TX
archives.
3.Sound-a-like "Caho" is listed for census
page 177 N.Y. City lst ward west in the
CD 42, lst Edition, New York 1850 census
Screen 1308 of 11264. This misspelling
may have thrown you off if this is West
Village.
4. The head of household can be sometimes
a twosome, husband and wife if the family
is split at the bottom of one sheet to the
top line of the second sheet. Also the
wife's name only, of course, if the husband
is deceased. Sarahs are listed as 290 and
294 - not close enough to page 177, John's
page 1850 census.
5. One county book, red, tells wards and then
there is another book that shows political
divisions for the census years.
6. I'd be asking if farm census were available for
this area and a check of the book that lets
one know the state census records available.
The Federal Archives have excellent resources.
Hope I haven't lost you. you have excellent pieces
of info to work with. I'll see if I have anything
for 1870s Patrick married to Catherine K 1870+
